MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Freshman first baseman Antonio Dominguez broke a scoreless tie with a two-run single in the sixth inning, and the Carl Sandburg College baseball team held on to defeat Morris (New Jersey) 2-1 on Tuesday as the Chargers continued their Spring Break trip.

After Tyler Womack reached on an error to open the bottom of the sixth and moved to third on a double from Cacey O’Brien, Dominguez knocked them in with a single to center for the game’s first runs.

Morris scored once in the seventh before Jack Gray wriggled out of a bases-loaded jam with a strikeout to close out the victory for the Chargers (4-3), who improved to 3-2 on their trip to the coast.

Freshman Bryce Meyer was dominant in his first start as a Charger, throwing five shutout innings. The lefty allowed three hits, a walk and struck out eight. Meyer retired 13 of the final 15 batters he faced before turning things over to Gray, who tossed the final two innings to get the win in relief.

O’Brien went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles.
